Taiwanese legislators fight over nuclear plant referendum

Taiwanese legislators on Friday engaged in a brawl in parliament ahead of a vote that would authorize a public referendum on whether to stop the construction of a nuclear power plant located in the densely populated north of the island.

The scuffles between the administration of the ruling Nationalist Party (KMT) and the main opposition Democratic Progressive Party could not be brought under control, leading to the postponement of the vote to Tuesday.
